Things I’ve done to get closer to God 🤍
🤍1. Started Listening to Gospel Music
I no longer listen to vulgar music. It was hard at first but when I started to actually listen to the lyrics of popular and trending music it really opened my eyes. I play Gospel Music in the morning during my commute to work and it has made a huge difference. My mornings would feel peaceful and road rage was slowly decreasing. And in the moments of listening to Gospel Music I take a moment to praise our Lord.
🤍2. Started talking to God outside of Prayer
I like to begin my mornings with a prayer, but throughout my day I will just talk to God. In an informal way almost - sharing my thoughts and asking questions. I express my feelings and opinions - I love these moments I share with God
🤍3. Started being Impeccable with my Word
Being impeccable means speaking with integrity, avoiding gossip or harmful speech, and using words to spread positivity, truth, and love. Your words should align with your true self and reflect honesty.
This also includes your thoughts. Not all thoughts are ours and often influenced by others/entities. Train your thoughts and filter those that aren’t yours.
🤍4. Started trying my best at everything I do
Your best may vary depending on your health, mood, or environment, but consistently doing your best ensures that you are not judging yourself harshly and are continuously growing and evolving.
Trying your best because it is a blessing to do so. You do everything in the name of God, so you would want to your absolute best.
🤍5. Started wearing a Commitment Ring for Jesus
I needed a visualization of my commitment to God. It is a promise of my love, praise, and worship.
It’s a symbol of God being with me always.
Building a closer relationship with God involves intentional practices that bring peace and fulfillment to your life. Start with incorporating gospel music into your routine; studies show that music can significantly uplift your mood and inspire positive thoughts. Engaging in dialogue with God beyond traditional prayer fosters a personal connection, allowing you to share your daily experiences and thoughts in an informal manner. Additionally, strive to be impeccable with your word; this means speaking truthfully and spreading positivity. Your communication can reflect your faith and encourage others on their journey. Moreover, always aim to perform your best in every task, as it honors God and reflects your dedication to growth. Finally, a commitment ring serves as a beautiful reminder of your dedication to God, making your promises tangible. Remember, small changes in your routine can lead to profound spiritual growth.
